Group Art Performance

17 April 2015 at 20:00 (arrival 19:45)

at ARTos Foundation

ARTos Foundation and the Cyprus International Performance Art
Society (CIPAS) collaborate for the realization of a series of group art
performances within the framework of the 7th X-Dream Festival. The first group performance will take place on
Friday, 17April 2015 at
20:00, at ARTos Foundation and is co-organizedby ARTos Foundation and CIPAS. A group performance will also take
place during the 3rd Cyprus International Performance Art Festival
(CIPAF) that will take place on the 20 and 21 June, at ARTos Foundation.

This group Art Performance is a
performance work that is formed through ideas and practices from Performance
Art and Fluxus, meaning that no rehearsal is taking place before and no
repetition of the same performance happens afterwards. The idea of the group
performance came out from the Performance Art workshop, by Christina Georgiou,
that took place at ARTos Foundation in the previous year. The group performance
consists of 6 participants; mainly visual artists but also artists from other
artistic backgrounds who participated in the Performance Art workshop.

A few words about CIPAS:

The Cyprus International Performance Art Society (CIPAS) was
founded in 2013 and is a registered NGO and a non-profit organization created for and dedicated to the field of
Performance Art. Having its basis in Nicosia, Cyprus, this initiative brings
together, supports and disseminates the work of performance artists from around
the globe, through activities that take place in Cyprus throughout the year. At
the same time, it endeavors to engage the public in this process and the
artists in the local peculiarity.

CIPAS aims to offer a number of opportunities to
artists while encouraging relationships with local, national and international
networks. CIPAS is an attempt to create a group of people working for the
realization of projects that focus on or involve Performance Art under the
frame of collaboration and contribution. CIPAS also encourages the
implementation of interdisciplinary projects that create possible
interconnections between Performance Art and other artistic or scientific
practices.

CIPAS has under its umbrella a number of
activities: residency/ research programs, training/ educational programs/
workshops, exhibitions and the yearly Cyprus International Performance Art
Festival (CIPAF), which its 3rd realization will take place in June
2015.
